Arda form and stats

4-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the Parva Liga numbers at home for Arda so far this season.

Arda travelled for their previous game, a trip to Etar that ended 1-1. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Botev Vratsa (1-3).

Svetoslav Kovachev was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Etar after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
